mouse isn't moving >.>

[daues666]

So, i have this need to move the mouse about and click an drag stuff..

However, the mouse isn't moving, (i'm testing this in paint, where clicking and dragging should produce a line)

in any case, is there some obvious flaw to my script?

script does run and does finish.

;REM (1051 270) to (642 293), (645, 554)
MouseMove(10, 100);
Sleep(500);
WinActivate("untitled - Paint");
sleep(500);
MsgBox(0,"blah","ok i'm clicking now");
MouseClick("left");
MouseClickDrag("left",1051,270,642,293);
for $temp=1 to 7
    Mouseclick("left", 645,554,1);
    Sleep(1000);
Next
MsgBox(0,"blah","script is finished");

thanks in advance~

Running fine here, just for making sure, your script do click at a tool in paint?

Yep, i have a tool selected.

Is there supposed to be some dll to activate?

unplug optical mouse?

or.. some window-activating code or something?

thanks for the reply, by the way, monoceres

Doesn't the Mouse function work at all?

[nick21]

Try this I made up really quick, make sure you have enough room to draw

run( "mspaint.exe")
Winwaitactive( "untitled - Paint")
MouseMove(100, 500, 1)
MouseClickDrag( "left", 100, 100, 100, 500, 100)
MouseClickDrag( "left", 100, 500, 500, 500, 100)
MouseClickDrag( "left", 500, 500, 500, 100, 100)
MouseClickDrag( "left", 500, 100, 100, 100, 100)
Sleep( 1000)
Send("!{F4}")
Sleep(1000)
Send( "!n")
Sleep(1000)
MsgBox(0, "Ta-Da", "There you go")

Monoceres, No, the mouse function doesn't seem to work at all...

Were you running this in a virtual environment?

Were you running this in a virtual environment?

I'm in a vitrual environment, and I've got the same type of problem. Haven't tried it in VMWare, but MS Virtual Server causes problems under certain conditions. First, the mouse refuses to move at all in VMRC Plus client. If I remote in to a VM using mstsc, start the AutoIT script, then minimize the remote session, the script won't send keys to the right window and the mouse doesn't move.

I want to be able to start a script on a VM, minimize the VM and continue to work, then pop back in on the VM periodically to check on the script. My solution so far is to remote to a physical box with mstsc, then from there remote to a VM, then I can minimize the physical session and the remoted VM AutoIT script seems to work.

Any ideas why when I remote directoy to a VM from my physical box, then minimize the virtual session the AutoIT script stops working? Gertting it to work in VMRC Plus would be the best solution as that remote environment is the best (compared to mstsc or ActiveX browser control). I've got VMWare workstation to try if I need to, but kind of pressed for time now, and I've got it working, albeit not to my complete satisifaction.
